Saturday, January 22 from 9:30-11:00 join LOSS for a Remembrance Bear Workshop!

A remembrance bear made from materials special to you such as: a shirt, pillow case, uniform, or another item, is a beautiful way to honor, cherish, and remember your loved one’s life. Using the materials you provide, each bear will be lovingly hand crafted by a suicide loss survivor and returned to the LOSS office for you to fill with stuffing on Saturday, January 22, 2020. The Remembrance Bear Workshop is limited to 20 suicide loss survivors!
